So that $10 gift card for transferring a prescription may not be that great a deal in the long run.

AND...sometimes patients do not tell their physicians or pharmacists of the supplements they are taking. I have friends say "Why? They are all natural???"
I am not a fan of alternative medicine advocates who are always shouting " BIG PHARMA" while they sell you their stuff and I am not a fan of Suzanne Somers who misleads people about breast cancer and endangers their lives in my opinion..
